two millions who cannot get honest WORK. uilu
with their families an aggregation OF twenty
millions that are on the verge OF starvation
Something wrong most certainly, In some
way, there will be new apporlionment Many
OF the millionaire estates will crack TO pieces
on the dissipation OF grandchildren, and then
dissolve into the possession OF the masses who
now have an insutliclency.
What you say, will become OF the expensive
and elaborate buildings now devoted TO de
basing amusementsi They Will become schools,
art galleries, musuems, gymnasiums, and
churches. The world Is already getting dis
gusted with many OF these amusements, and
no wonder. What an importation OF unclean
theatrical stuff we have within the last few
years had brought TO our shores And pro.
fessors OF religion patronizlng such things!
Having sold out to the devil, why don't you
deliver the goods and go over TO him publicly,
body mind, and soul, and withdraw your
name from Christian churches and say, "Know
all the world by these presents that am a
patron OF uncleanlness and child OF helL'
Sworn to be the Lords, you are perjurers.
But at last the tide has turned, and the de.
spsers OF purity overdld the matter A for
eign actress OF base morals arrived intending
to make tour Of the States, but the remaining
decency Of our cities rose up and cancelled the
contracts, and drove her back from our Anieri-
can stage, a woman flt for neither continent. In
the name Of Almighty God take these abomi-
nations by the throat. II you think these
offenses are to 20 ON forever, you do not know
who the Lord Is God will not wait for the
Day of Judgment. All these palaces OF sin
will become palaces OF righteousness. They
will come into the possession OF those strong
for virtue and strong for God. "lIe shall d.
vide the spoil with the strong"
China and Africa the two richest portions
OF the earth by reason of metals and rare
woods, and inexhaustible productiveness, are
not yet divided up among the good because
they are not ready TO be divided Wait I'M
I'll all the doors that Livingstone opened in
Africa shall be entered and Bishop TAYLOR
with his band OF self-supporting missionaries
have done their work, and the Ashantees and
Senegambians shall know Christ as well as
YOU know him, and there shall be on the banks
of the Nile and the Niger higher civilization
than is now 10 be found on the banks of the
Hudson, then Christ will divide up that CONT
nent among his friends. Wait until China,
which is half as large ms all Europe, shall have
developed her capacities for rice, and tea and
sugar, among edibles; and her amethyst, and
sapphire, and topaz, and opal, and jasper, and
porphyry among precious stones; and her
rosewood, and ebony, and camphor, and var
nish trees among precious woods; aud turned
up from her depths half dozen Pennsylva.
MAS OF coal and iron, and twenty Nevadas OF
silver and fifty CALIFORNIA; of gold, and her
five hundred million of people shall be evan
the good.
II my text be not deception, but the
eternal truth, then the time is coming when
all the farms will be owned by Christian
farmers, and all the commerce controlled
by Christian merchants, and all the au.
thorlty held by Christian officials, and all
the ships commanded by Christian captains,
and all the universities under the instruction
OF Christian professors Christian kings,
Christian presidents, Christian governors,
Christian mayors, Christian common council.
Yet what a securing out what an upturningl
what demolition what a resurrection must
precede this new apportionmentl
/ DO aot underrate the enemy. Julius
Cesar got his greatest victories by fully esti-
mating the vastness Of his foes and prepared
his men for their greatest triumph by saying:
Tomorrow King Juba will be here with
thirty thousand horses one hundred thousand
skirmishers, and three hundred elephants"
do not underrate the vast forces OF Sin and
Death, but do you know who commands usi
Jehovah-Jireh. And the reserve corps behind
us are all the armies OF heaven and earth,
with hurricane and thunderbolt The good
work OF the worlds redemption is going on
every minute. Never so many splendid men
and glorious women on the side Of right as
to-day. Never so many good people as now.
Dogenes has been spoken OF AS wise man
because he went with a lantern at MONDAY,
saying he was looking for an honest man. IL
he had turned his lantern towards himself he
might have discovered crank.
Honest men by the ten thousand! Through
the International Series OF Sunday School
Lessons the next generation all through
Chrlstendom are going TO be wiser than any
generation since the world stood. The king
dom is coming. God can do it. No housewife
with chamois cloth ever polished silver
teaspoon with more ease than Christ will rub
off from this world the tarnish, and brighten
II up till II CLOVIS like heaven, and then the
glorious apportionment for my text is rein
forced by score OF other texts, when II says
Of Christ: "He shall divide the spoil with the
strong.n
But you say, "that this Is pleasant 10
think OF for Others, but before that time l
shall have passed up into another existence,
and shall get no advantage from that new
apportionment." Al Won have only driven
me TO the other more exciting and transport
ing consideration, and that is Christ is going
to divide up heaven In the same way. There
are old estates In the celestial world that have
been In the possession of its inhabitants for
thousands OF years, and they shall remain
as they are There are old family mansions in
heaven filed with whole generations OF kin
dred, and they shall never be driven out.
Many OF the victors from earth have already
got their palaces, and they are pointed out TO
10 those newly arrived. Soon after our getting
there we will ask to be shown the Apostolic
residences, and ask where does Paul live, and
John and shown the patrarchal residences,
and shall say: "Where does Abraham live, or
Jacobw and shown the martyr residences and
say: "Where does John Huss live, and Rid
leym We will want TO sec the boulevards
where the chariots OF conquerors roll / will
want to see the gardens where the princes
walked.
We will want 10 see Music Row, where Han
del, and Haydn. and Mozart aud CHARLES
Wesley, aud Thomas Hastings, and Bradbury
have their homes, out OF their windows, ever
and anon, rolling some sonnet OF an earthly
oratorlo or hymn transported with the com
poser. We will want TO see Revival Terrace,
where Whitefeld and Nettleton, and Payson,
and Rowland Hill, and Charles Finney, and
